Themes

Themes are a way to customise the look and feel of your course to make it more personalised to your company's branding. You select a theme for an entire course - its configuration applies to all cards in the course.

The themes section has two sections:

• Presets: These are preset themes created by the GoodCourse team that can be added to any course.

• Your themes: These are themes that you have created, or that has been created by anyone in your company.

Interactive walkthrough – creating a theme

Scroll down for the written and static image version of the help guide.

1. Navigate to the themes section, on the Course Builder Page, and click on the Your themes tab.

2. Click on Add a new theme.

1. Select the card type to start editing.

• Cover: The first card in a course. All courses can only have one cover card.

• Cards: This represents every other card, beyond the cover, in the course.

• Buttons: This is for configuring how buttons would appear in a course, such as the button on a link card.

When you've finished the customisation for one of the 3 sections, the colour of the text will change to green.

You must start with the Cover when configuring your theme.

1. Configure the background

   • Once you have selected a card type (cover or body), you can configure the background.

   • Solid colour: enter the body hex and the font hex. A hex is a 6 digit code for a colour.
   • Image: select an image from the library of options, and choose the text colour.

Choose a background and text colour combination that makes the text easy to read and does not distract the learner.

1. Choose font: Select your desired font from the dropdown menu.

2. Click Save once you are finished.

Editing a theme

When a theme is in use on at least one course, it cannot be edited. So the Edit button will be replaced by View.

Your Default theme

You can set a theme to be the default used on every new course created by you and your fellow users. When a company doesn't have a default theme configured, one of GoodCourse's preset themes will be used.

To set a default theme:

1. Navigate to the theme selector, on the Course Builder Page, and click on the Your themes tab

2. Select which of your themes you'd like to be the default

3. Click on the Set as default button

The theme that is set as default will be displayed at the top of the Your themes tab.

To remove a theme as default, scroll to the Default theme section, and click on Remove as default
